All I have heard about lately is 3D printers and I want one! These printers can be used to print out things like spaceships that you snap together from plastic pieces printed out of the printer. If that doesn't sound exciting, I don't know what is!

Seriously! I see 3D printers as the next great way to get kids excited about learning. They can be connected to every subject and can turn the library into a great MakerSpace which is the latest buzzword in libraries.

This year there has been an uptick in students checking out Nooks, our e-readers. What do the students use them for? A variety of things including checking out books from Overdrive, listening to music, getting online for research, and playing the games already loaded on the Nooks.

Several repeat customers come in and check them out over and over. I think they have found a good thing and believe it's our best kept secret! But we want others to know that with a parent permission form, anyone from any grade can check out a Nook!

So, stop by the library to see what they are all about! You're always welcome to check out a book, too! Just keep stopping by to see what's going on in the library!
